I remember reading years ago that when Jacques Villeneuve first arrived in F1 that he really pushed the Williams team to open up to the idea of changing the suspension set-up while at the track to suit conditions, as well as adopting an asymmetrical set-up in some cases. Is that still done in F1? Or are the settings set based on simulations, and then parts like wings merely swapped out?.

Pretty sure the setup does change from race to race. Not sure how much they change about the suspension (especially with the new ground effect cars, that need stiffer suspension and low ride heights) but aero setups change a lot, from the hyper-downforce monsters from Monaco to the speed demons of Monza.

Hi, could you make a video discussing the differences between driving an IndyCar and an F1 car and how they’re different for the driver physically, such as the strain on the driver’s neck, is one car harder to steer or more physically demanding and how the enclosed halo versus the open halo in F1 are for you?

The cars are probably about the same when it comes to strain on the body. F1 has higher G forces, but IndyCars are downforce cars too so they still pull a decent amount of G's. IndyCars, however, don't have power steering which which adds extra strain. So, F1 and IndyCar probably put the same amount of stress on the body, but in different ways. Also the aeroscreen in IndyCar makes it super hot so they have a system to help funnel air in to the driver and in to the helmet.

I've only driven smaller formula cars (F440, FF) but was amazed at how strong and predictable the brakes are. We only had mechanical brake bias adjustment (big red knob on the dash) - how do you change bias in IndyCar, and what else is different? Thanks!

That racing suit collection in the back is so dope.

Talk more about the tracks... How do F1 tracks differ from Indy car tracks? Are F1 tracks more technically difficult from Indy or vice versa?

@SALEENS7GTR5

2 жыл бұрын

For shared circuits, like when Indy used to race at COTA, or when F1 used to race at Indianapolis, the technicality is the same, because the tracks are consistent in pavement, run-offs, pit-entry/exits, and curbing. At F1-only tracks, like Silverstone, with little elevation change, the track may be more difficult in terms of limited camber turns, but they are very wide circuits regardless. In IndyCar, many circuits like Road America or Mid-Ohio, the tracks are older, have far-more elevation change and even blind crests, reduced run-offs or even sand-traps, and may not be entirely consistent in paving. They are often also smaller in width compared to F1 tracks, making driving on at the max more difficult. Add on oval races, which have their own styles of driving and qualities, and the understanding of technicality is high and spread out over multiple facets in IndyCar. I would say F1 has a higher peak technicality, but it is also easier to maintain consistency with the majority of relatively flat turns at F1 circuits, versus the mixture of unpredictable conditions at IndyCar circuits that challenge the driver more frequently, while also having to race a circuit one week and an oval the next, but may not have as technical sections in F1 circuits, nor can IndyCars corner as fast as F1 cars.

Excellent overview!... THX Romain! Love your commentary.

CAN'T wait to see you race tomorrow in Bham and Barber!!!! rooting for you

I am someone that started following both since last season. As an American, I was turned off very quickly to F1. Mainly due to the fairness aspect that Romain talked about. I constantly argue with an australian friend about it. Its definitely a non American mentality. Fandom. Rooting for a small team/driver with zero expectation of them ever winning a race and being ecstatic/news breaking when they get a point. Its crazy to me. I can't imagine being a driver or fan going into a race or season knowing that you seriously cant even win unless every car in front of you crashed. Then theres also the touting about having the best drivers when to me, its 80% car/tech/team/money and 20% driver. This year as been a great example of. The two arguably best driver, 1 barely can make Q3 and the defending champion is essentially out of repeating after only 3 races.

I'd love to hear more about how laptime is found in both cars. I remember listening to your episode on the Beyond the Grid F1 podcast where you said you had to really fight the IndyCar to find laptime, and smooth wasn't necessarily best. Could you elaborate on that?

From my personal point of view as a new US F1 fan? They should copy the broadcasting style from F1. I'm not saying copying the cars, that should remain the same. But I have had issues going from watching F1 to indycar. It's great that you can watch the race free on TV, but why are there so many commercial breaks? The racing doesn't stop during the breaks, and then when they return from the ad break they waste time showing you the skyline from the helicopter and telling you about another sponsor (Nashville race last year). I constantly wanna be fed cars racing and be told in simple terms what is happening on the track, what the team strategy might be, why this corner is tricky etc. Indycar sort of treats you like you know all that when you watch the race. Also seems like the drivers have to thank sponsors again while being interviewed instead of fully talking about the racing. I don't care about the sponsor, I can see the name on the car and the racing suit. I'm not saying F1 is perfect because they do have a lot of bias towards British drivers but you get 2hrs non-stop of racing plus you never see Lecrerc thanking Shell or Santander for their sponsorship.

Romain, do you think having a aero screen(like fighter jet canopy) instead of f1 halo, could have helped from the accident you were in? If the canopy could take the hit, the canopy would also helped against the fire, right? I have reviewed your crash many times, and it occured to me the following. If where you exit the car gets stuck under one of those bars, literally the only save would have been from fire marshals putting out that fire. And watching you talk back on the crash, you even mention hitting your head into something. So my thought is, wouldn't it be better with fighter jet canopy?

thx Romain wish you good luck Racing Indy Cars. Watching you driving since day 1 in F1. Sometimes i can watch your Indy Car Races you doing well :). Keep pushing drive safe!

Thats is the best comparison I’ve heard. Well done 👍

I met Roman during 2008 at a Renault areo test at RAF Kemble when he was the Renault test driver, and found him to be very well informed even as a young driver. I met him again at an areo test at Duxford when he was driving for Lotus.

yo love f1 and am trying to get into indycar, i wanna see you guys in detroit! much love

Roman, I'm just glad to see your smiling face! I mean, you came through the flames! Your survival was historically epic! God bless you!

Bonjour Romain Je suis un fervent supporter Je te félicite pour l'ensemble de ton œuvre en F1 et maintenant en Indycar . Nous sommes fiers de toi en France continu ta passion --- Alain MICHEL -- FRANCE

Great video. So happy you have found a home in Indy cars. How is the driver community compared to the F1 paddock?

your the man Grosjean. It's great to see you still racing!

Thanks Rom:) greattings from Poland:)

I’d love to meet you at Long Beach! I was so happy to see you go to Indy Car after leaving F1. The Phoenix of motor racing.

Thank you my friend there nothing like having a real chat or listening to a driver....I race moto GP an have acquired a Rotax max TAG senior kart I love it an wanted to go to F2 3 then to F1 in 1989...they Elf...an I try to teach people or explain an educate them a little about the extremes of both but your knowledge is the best thank u for taking time to share ur experience....I'm a road course specialist too....peace...

That was a very informative video 👌

Romain, merci for another great video! Also, I have a question: F1 teams always have the same pit-box spot in pit road depending on the previous season's final standings. Is there a similar format in Indycar or is it more like Nascar? Where you can choose a pit stall (depending on some factors).

Thank you so much for the explanation! I think you're just the best

Thank you! I was always curious about the difference but to lazy to ever look it up myself. Miss you in F1

Love your energy Romain. Keep doing you!!

great video romain. thankyou.
